why cant Steam Deck detect display resolution? (feddit.nl)

Every PC I've ever used automatically detects and adjusts resolution to the display you connect to it. Even Nintendo Switch will detect when it's docked and automatically adjust the display resolution. But on Steam Deck you literally have to adjust the display resolution for every game, every time you switch displays.

Since getting the SD I have shoved my PC into another room to displace the heat (until I get a mini-split) and I just stream from it to the Deck, whether docked at my desk or on the couch or on the big screen. But this really complicates that process unnecessarily.

This has also not been fixed in Nobara or Chimera.

What's the limitation there?

Games go real funky on Linux when it comes to running two monitors, in my experience.

Never been my experience...

In my experience, games decide to store the resolution in their own config files

Based on what?

The Deck should set the default game resolution to "native"

It doesn't. The default is always 800p.

You should be able to change the external monitor resolution in Settings -> Display -> External Display Scaling

This setting no longer exists.

Uhhhh I'm pretty sure it is. Otherwise they are destroying the only thing they have going for them and lying in their marketing.

just because YOU have never had problems doesn't mean they don't exist most games do store there res and other user settings s in their own config file just cause it normally follows monitor resolution doesn't mean it's not stored and I've had many problems with games opening on the wrong display or just flat up refusing to display one one screen and unless it's changed in the past few days I just used the external display scaling were you docked?

just because YOU have never had problems doesn't mean they don't exist

No one said that.

most games do store there res and other user settings s in their own config file

Again, based on what? What resolution are the choosing and why? Every PC game I have ever played has its' settings automatically adjusted to the native resolution.
